The History of Marwell Hotel

Marwell Hotel was built in 1989, the architect taking inspiration from Treetops in Africa to bring a colonial safari lodge to Hampshire. Being next door to the Wildlife Park the Hotel looked surprisingly at home in its woodland backdrop.

The intention was always for the Hotel to be attractive to both leisure guests visiting the many attractions in the local area and business guests who could make use of the unique conference facilities and pleasant setting.

The Hotel was bought by the Bastian family in 1999 who had already built several other family businesses including farms, fish and chip shops, butchers shops and a large golf complex. The same simple rules of business were applied to Marwell and the Hotel was restored to its opening glory. Over the next 10 years the family employed experienced managers to front the Hotel under the watchful eye of hotel management company Bespoke Hotels. In 2010 it was decided that the family would take a more hands-on involvement in the day to day running of Marwell Hotel.

In July 2010, Oliver Bastian was appointed as the Resident Manager bringing with him an unsurpassed passion and commitment to customer service excellence. Marwell Hotel has since gone from strength to strength, offering a truly unique service that can only be expected from a family-owned and operated hotel.
